I’d like to learn what people in their field think of when they see something good or bad when they’re not working.
I’m a health inspector, so when I am sitting at a table as a customer, I’ll watch people while I’m eating (not purposely staring, but having a look around the place). I recently saw someone swipe their finger under their nose then go to the self serve station to touch about 8 different handles before walking away. Thankfully, I was already done eating.
When I have to walk through the kitchen to the toilets, I take mental notes without meaning to.
As a ex-first responder, unconsciously doing an assessment of someone I’m speaking to (or not) and internally noting how nice and juicy their veins are.
What are some things you come across in your daily life and what do they have you thinking about?
Something I can’t relate to because I’m hopeless with the back end stuff. I’ve always search “pay wall remover” to get rid of the pay walls… And if it still doesn’t work, I just find another article to read. I didn’t realise that you can just remove it on your own end!
One tip I can give is, that disabling JavaScript (for Firefox theres an add-on called no-script that does this) gets rid of quite a lot of unwanted stuff on websites.
For removing paywalls there are tools like 12feet.io or the internet archive where you can archive websites to remove paywalls.
In theory theres also archive.today, bit they started to redirect visits to their website to Wikipedia to DDOS them, so its better to not use their service.
